Abstract

The UV spectra of acrid-9-one, 10-methyl-acrid-9-one, and 9-methoxyacridine dissolved in acids and in sodium ethoxide solution are investigated. Acrid-9-one and 10-methylacrid-9-one add a proton from the acid to their oxygens, giving the corresponding 9-hydroxyacridinium cation. In sodium ethoxide solution, acrid-9-one gives an acridolate, a derivative of the tautomeric hydroxy form.
